PREPARATION STEP! download sgs kernel flasher from the market (must be rooted I believe) and do a kernel backup as this process changes your kernel.
SPRINT TAB INSTRUCTIONS THAT WORKEDFOR MANY SPRINT TAB OWNERS. IT MAY NOT WORK FOR YOU!
Ok here it is, Thank koushs for this product, cruiserbax for his awesome instructions and Benjamin Dobell for giving up Heimdall flashing utility and install instructions.
I NOR THE ANYONE LIST ABOVE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS NOT WORKING!!! OR ANY DAMAGE IT MAY DO TO YOUR TAB!!
To get the zip file containing the zimage download it from here. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SV6IKL1D
To flash the zimage you will need to use Heimdall which can be downloaded here. http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/ <--------click on the binaries link for 1.1.1
instruction are below.
Heimdall install instructions
1. Download Heimdall here http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
2. Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and install it. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...5E-6DE6-4D3A-A423-37BF0912DB84&displaylang=en <------only if you are using Microsoft widows
2. Unzip Heimdall and you should have several files in the folder called Heimdall.exe, Heimdall-Frontend.exe, QtCore4.dll, QtGui4.dll, Readme.txt and drivers folder containing zadig.exe
3. Put you tab into Download mode(while the tab is OFF hold Volume Down + Power Button). Hook the tab up to you PC and Run Zadig.exe to install the drivers.
4. From the menu chose Options -> List All Devices.
5. From the USB Device list chose "Samsung USB Composite DEvice".
6. Press "Install Driver", click "Yes" to the prompt and if you receive
a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver
click "Install this driver software anyway".
7. Done. This only needs to be done once.
ClockWorkMod Install Instructions
1. First root you tab (use one click root or z4root) then downloaded rom manager.
2. Unzip the flash_image_VZW_zimage.zip. It will have have two files flash_image and zimage. you only need to use the zimage file. Open Heimdall-Frontend.exe and browse to where you unzipped the zimage to and select it. Make sure the box infront of zimage is checked. Hit start and it should flash the zimage and reboot the tab.
when it reboots it will get stuck at the samsung screen long hold the power button to shut it off. boot into recovery (cwm) power button plus volume up button it will start backing up to do the fs conversion but it will fail at /data and /cache. it will leave you in recovery.
3. While still in recovery select factory reset/data wipe when finished also do a cache wipe.
4. select reboot system, if you let it try to boot it will loop/hang on the SAMSUNG logo, this is not an issue just hold power key until it powers off.
5. while off hold volume up + power until you see the SAMSUNG logo then release both keys! NOTE: if step 4 does not fully power off and reboots just keep holding the power button until the screen blanks again then let go and quickly hold down only volume up + power until you see the SAMSUNG logo.
6. once it boots back into recovery (cwm) it will start the same backup/conversion process again, this time it will finish and leave you in recovery.
7. select reboot system and wait for it to load the tab back to froyo. (it will be back to factory defaults with the activation screen again)
8. Your tab will still be rooted so install terminal emulator and run "mount" to verify that your partitions are ext4.
9. Power off then boot back into recovery with volume up + power, it will boot back into recovery (cwm)
10. Do a backup and reboot your tab.

Yes, I tried this and it works great but be aware that certain kernels seem to mess it up.
Which Kernel Seems To Work The Best?
@ lloydcabraham
Which kernel is the most stable?
I rooted my tab last night in preparation for the HC port, and I'm curious about whether CWM is necessary... seems everything needs to be flashed via Heimdal or Odin, so is the advantage to having CWM installed just the wipe capabilities? I'm used to my EVO, and flashing/rooting/modding which is obviously different, I just don't understand what the differences are, I guess. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE STEP BY STEP! Simpletons like me find them EXTREMELY useful!
Great work, and thanks again!

Somewhat Offtopic:
Chances are the honeycomb port will come to GSM Devices First, We can only hope that it comes to Sprint and Verizon devices.
I believe the build being worked on right now in here is based on a cdma device...
Not off topic at all. THE ONLY HC port is currently being built by spacemoose (reading more than one thread on one website helps) and that wasn't the focus of my question. Please read before you quote/insinuate. Don't wanna be tagged with the troll label...

Clockworkmod has many advantages if you flash different roms, or say wanted to backup your current sprint rom & settings before testing Honeycomb Port.
As far as Honeycomb Port goes,
Again Chances are Honeycomb will port to Gsm Devices First,
Honeycomb is still Closed Code.
I said somewhat off topic, which it was, considering the thread is titled Clockworkmod.
Get your facts straight.

I like Bauxite but you will get a flaky camera (Sometimes won't initialize without reboot) and seems to mess up CWM (Although redoing these steps fixes it) but I do love running @ 1.4 super stable!

3/26/11 #2:...Second... The "dirty" port will be for CDMA devices, but as soon as the CDMA version is released I'll look into getting a GSM version out asap. Shouldn't be hard. Instead of using my own kernel for this one, I'm using a modified version of Boushh's kernel and can probably hack together a suitable kernel for other devices as well. My own kernel for the larger project is still in fluctuation as I have to make changes to suit the build on a regular basis, but when I finalize that kernel I'll release it as an update and it will get a repo of it's own.

The quote was for what?
Re-read it one more time...
Really
I still stand by my message.
It's also apparent you didn't go back to page 1 otherwise you would have known I acknowledged spacemoose1 Honeycomb Port.
Despite someone working on Honeycomb port for Sprint / CDMA devices.
Chances are someone else is working on it for GSM, as with damn near anything, GSM devices will most likely get it first,
KEYWORD: most likely, and if you read the previous post - keyword is chances are
Bottom line is who cares who gets it first.
I'm well aware of most developments going on XDA
can u guys just drop it already!
Ok im stuck I followed steps but I am stuck at the samsung screen won't boot into recovery I don't know what I did wrong... I need help I have it stuck! (sigh) uSING hEIMDALL It isn't specific on which box I should use the zimage in which box using heimdall... I used it in the recovery under other made sure the box was checked. It ran through backups 2 times then looked like it was launching into recovery cwr 3.0 but when I picked it up it turned off when I turned on all I get is the samsung logo FOREVER... I have tried using heimdall again and tried to use it under FACTORYFS but same result. Please help. All I have now is a Huge Expensive Paper Weight. HELP
*** Ok after further review *SIGH* I understand I probably should have studied the damn thing better there is an option for zImage there... So how bad did I mess this thing up and is there a way to UnDue what I have Done?
Update-
So I was able to flash the Zimage and get to recovery but when I tried to wipe/data/cache and load K-lean rom I got this ---->http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8655/imag0061y.jpg
I was also able to boot in but couldn't launch because every one of the launchers would fc.
I will attempt another ROM but I fear it is bricked.... I don't give up easily so any help would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
Damn,
Can you boot into recovery at all? Ifa ll fails, put your Tablet in downloader mode, and flash the file below, follow the instructions in the zip file, if you have done some of the steps skip them, however read very carefully.

Thanks for the link... Will give it a try.
Really don't know what to say about the error message, My tab was messed up with errors like can't mount....., some other stuff, I had to send mine in to get replaced, never would go past the samsung logo. At the time the only thing Sprint users had was the Stock DJ30 With Modem.
Now we have no modem.

Before I tried that I loaded the Honeycomb ROM well it isn't but the Khasmek's AOSP beta 1 and it worked everything working but the real question is what to do now... If I reboot does it load agian? Should I use Rom manager and run a recovery Backup? what would you advise?
****Update
So after getting everything setup I tried to do a boot to recovery through Rom Manager and low and behold back to dreaded SAMSUNG screen with NUTIN happening. Will try your steps next
****Update
After following steps and flashing image with odin... I was able to boot up fine... Downside---> My Verizon tab is now a Sprint Tab ... I need to find the .tar for VZW anyone? ANYONE? *SIGH*
Hey,
I recently bought this phone Huawei U8500, and I had a long search on the net where can I get a working recovery, finally I found a modified clockworkmod recovery.
It seems that this phone is highly unpopular.
I just wanted to share my finding.
Here you can download this modified version: Download
Steps to install recovery:
1. Download the clockworkmod
2. Unrar it somewhere on your computer
3. Turn off your phone
4. Press & Hold volume down key + call end (red) key and then press power key.
5. Launch the .bat file on your computer + connect your phone via USB
6. When it's finished, take out the battery and wait 5 seconds before putting it back in
7. Then you can access the recovery by holding volume up key + call(green) key
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One thing I can recommend If your phones android build version doesn't end with "712", I suggest you to update it to the beta release, you'll have more functional dual-touch.
Here is the beta froyo update: Download
To install it:
1. Unrar it to your computer, and find a folder named "dload" with the biggest size.
2. Copy that "dload" filder to root of your SD card
3. turn off phone
4. Hold volume up key + end call (red) key and the press power key. Wait for it to load, it will say something like "Updating system" Wait for it to finish, if it says fail, just try again
5. After it says "Update complete" or "Update successful" just restart your phone and you'll have the new beta firmware.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Russian site I found some unofficial ROM's too.
I haven't tried them yes but if someone is willing here you can download them:
Firmware 2.2 29.01.2011 by Pavlo78
u8500_mao_rls7b2
u8500_mao_rls7++by_march_2
u8500_mao_rls8_by_march
u8500_mao_rls8_by_march
To install one of these ROM's do the following:
1. Copy the ZIP file on root of your SD card, the ZIP file, not RAR.
2. Boot up your phone in recovery mode (by holding volume up key + call(green) key)
3. With your optical trackpad select "Install zip from sd card"
4. From the list choose your ZIP file
5. And then just wait till the installation is complete and then just restart the phone!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I highly recommend you to back up the original firmware before installing new ROM's
You can do that in recovery mode, just click on nandroid and follow the on screen instructions it will backup your current firmware + your currently installed apps.
I'm not responsible for bricking your phone, if something doesn't go well. By doing the things I wrote, you may void your phones warranty.
Don't forget to thank me
Kind regards

10x a lot, monirr, I waz searchin this stock rom ... & do u kno if itz upgradeable 2 Android 2.3.4 or any1 upgraded?
hey im thinking bout buying this phone as i live in bangladesh... can anyone confirm me about the froyo upgrade does it work???
I did download the beta firmware.
And updated the phone's firmware a few minutes ago.
I have the dual touch now, yay (and a little better keyboard).
Many thanks from a Droid noob.
This should be enough for all your stock rom needs.
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Huawei_Firmware_U8500
BTW: If you install the clockwordmod, you will lose the GP stock bootup screen (not the boot animation). So if you are going to claim warranty make sure you flash the GP firmware before you go to the GP centre.
Someone was asking how this phone is...the only issue I have is knowing that I'll never have flash on this thanks to the arm6 processor.

There is a thread in the port section of the Cyanogenmod forum. It started with a lame question but later a lot was discussed about gingerbread 2.3.4. There is a Chinese developer (Slax) who has been working on the rom. However, this rom does have a few issues.
I don't know Chinese and google translate is incomprehensible. You should be able to find all the links needed in the cyanogenmod forum.
here is the link.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/21467-huawei-u8500/
for froyo try trial and error with all the official roms. if you don't like one change it. eventually you will find one that meets your need.

I have same problem here
Just got my P8000 and job one was to flash Eragon rom - fantastic. Seem to me that web pages have a yellow tint although home screen is perfectly fine displaying pure white. Anyone have a fix ??? Also I like the ported HTC camera and gallery but it seems impossible to have pictures save to SD card (Kingston 64GB class 10) and the gallery app even throws an error message of a problem with the SD storage when I try to move them.
Yes I know I can move them with ES file explorer and it is not too much of a chore but ???
Finally I had a heck of a time flashing Philz recovery with a few versions of SP flash tool I tried but found the latest version on Android MTK worked great ---- Google it, not allowed to post links.
Did you try another method.

With Bootloader unlocked in settings maybe?

No, Super Su apk did not work for me. I did get the recommended (by Eragon and Elephone) method to work eventually by using latest version of SP flash tool (v 5.1532.00), as mentioned in my post, and Philz recovery. It just took some time. Also my Windows 7 ultimate really protested about unsigned drivers but I found a solution by Googling and ran a command line instruction which solved that problem. If you are unable to find the source for that SP flash tool I used PM me and I may be able to send you the link - just can't do it in this forum I think.
Help. My Letv X800 us version. have malware. it's install the app automatic without my permission.
It's auto download the app in the background and install the application automatic.
and run it , how to solve this problem.
I'm really in pain.
US/international Le1 pro that is sold worldwide on many web-shops comes with very unpleasant malware package. Several malware/trojans are included in rom. Many users suffered automatic installation of unwanted software, and there will be many more in next days.
Root, flash TWRP and install any RECENT custom ROM. Cuoco 14S for stock experience or latest CM12.1 for good experience. Good luck, you can find all infos in the threads!
I had the same problem and my phone bricked trying to install TWRP. Hope to have a chance this weekend to attempt to unbrick the phone this weekend. Let me know if you find a way to install TWRP, because none of the instructions here worked. For the record, this isn't my first rodeo...I've rooted every smart phone I've ever owned.

I had the same issue. I couldn't get my phone to boot into any of the ROMS (CM, CUOCO92) with TWRP as my recovery. After a few attempts and a few soft bricks later, I stumbled across this sequence.
1- Flash TWRP 3.0.2. At this point, my phone could only boot into recovery.
2- From TWRP, wipe phone, root, flash custom rom, then reboot into TWRP (recovery).
3- Use Fastboot to flash Stockrecovery.img. Reboot. Your phone will be able to start the CM/CUOCO ROM.
YES..... I can confirm too. this phone is installing stupid apps by itself! I just found today morning that i had a new lock screen! wtf????? I'd flash the phone right away! get your self a new TWRP and a different rom.
You can download US rom by Cuoco92 for the US version + TWRP (version 5.5.014S) here:

I have also bought X800 -but from Gearbest, my friend that already got his phone told my about the same problem like OP, I wonder if we can simplly just install the official FW from here:
http://bbs.le.com//zt/eui/le_pro1.html
will it work or this FW not competible with our X800?

I just got a US version today. How do I know if I have malware? I haven't seen anything untoward happening yet

If you are on Lollipop, this guide is NOT for you!
Almost none of this is my work, I just collect it and put it together in one place and I'm writing a small how-to get things done.
PLEASE ONLY PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!
ONLY FOR ZX551ML
Bootloader unlock:
Currently the only way I was able to get ROOT on the phone was by installing it from TWRP which required an unlocked bootloader, so the first step is to get the bootloader unlocked, to do this please follow this steps:
1) Enable USB debugging - If you do not know what is that and how to do it, you should probably STOP right here.
2) Download and extract: Unlock 6_ZX551ML.ZIP
3) From the extracted folder run unlock.bat (This will restart your phone into fastboot mode, downgrade the bootloader and unlock it)
4) When step 3 is completed, you need to run restore.bat
If everything went on correctly your boot screen should be inverted (white background, black Asus text). This was the most risky part. I only have my phone and it worked, but if something goes wrong here you might end up bricking your phone, so please take extreme care, always read the messages on the screen!!!!!
Custom Recovery:
1) Now to get a custom recovery, please download TWRP-3.0.2-M1-Z00A.img.
2) Put your phone into bootloader mode, if your phone is currently in use, just use the following commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Alternatively you can power off the phone, remove the USB cable. Power it back on while holding the volume up button.
3) once your phone if in bootloader mode please use the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP-3.0.2-M1-Z00A.img
4) Use the vol up & down to select "RECOVERY"
5) Use the power button (short press) to reboot to TWRP
ROOTING
1) Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-patch-by-shakalaca-for-zenfone2-6.0_(1).zip
2) In recovery select Advanced -> Sideload
3) From your computer use the following commands:
Code:
adb sideload "BETA-SuperSU-v2.74-2-20160519174328-patch-by-shakalaca-for-zenfone2-6.0_(1).zip"
4) Once it's completed installing, restart the phone to system
FLASHABLE STOCK ROM
If you have TWRP installed and you want to flash the latest stock ROM, you will need to, make sure you un-root your phone from the supersu app, reboot to recovery and sideload the zip. You can also copy the zip to your phone and install it from twrp. When installing the stock rom, your bootloader will be locked again, so you will need to unlock it (if you wish), also you will need to root again, because the root is lost. However the modified stock rom will NOT remove the custom recovery giving you freedom to flash whatever you like in the future...
XPOSED
Xposed on our device won't work if we have SuperSu installed. If you want to use Xposed modules you will need to use PHH's SuperUser instead. All files required for Xposed/Magisk/Phh's SuperUser are available in the Xposed folder.
Available modified stock rom versions:
UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.141-user-TWRP.zip - Updated: 2016-Oct-07
UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.197-user-TWRP.zip - Updated: 2016-Dec-16
Files can be downloaded from: here
Again, please proceed on your own risk.
Special tanks and credits to all the guys who made this possible, namely:
@sorg @social-design-concepts @shakalaca - For bootloader unlock
@jrior001 for the TWRP
@shakalaca - For the modified SuperSU package.
Magisk / systemless should also work?
any way to get back the noninverted Bootscreen?

Yes I'm using Magisk, but even with it I wasn't able to use Google Pay. To get back to non inverted, you will need to flash the locked bootloader.

While essentially true the user can always use a different boot animation by flashing one via twrp. There might even be one somewhere of the unmodified asus screen.
Can anyone confirm the flashable Rom mentioned in Post #1 is MM 6.0.1? I ask because my phone upgraded itself right after I booted it up and I wondered if it was on a newer version than the downloadable one. Pretty sure the update was only security updates given it was only around 80mb.
The actuall boot screen is only a couple of seconds long while the boot animation shown

Well as usual the linux users drew the short straw. The shell script is for mac users. I decided to see about running the lines manually but never even reached the "danger zone". As soon as I did an "adb reboot bootloader" I followed up with "sudo fastboot devices" (some linux distro's need sudo..some don't)....and nothing shows up although I can clearly see the device is hooked up and in fastboot mode as well as the fact the adb reboot bootloader worked. I swap out one of my other devices and check things...they show up fine in fastboot....ok...so what's missing from this picture?
*update* solved by updating the ubuntu adb and fastboot binaries from here: https://github.com/simmac/minimal_adb_fastboot/tree/master/linux
*update2* bootloader unlocked, supersu flashed and verified. Much appreciated.
I ran the bootloader unlock and it appeared to work. Now it keeps booting back into the bootloader. I can't seem to get it to boot normal. Suggestions?
Nevermind, I didn't realize that I needed to run restore.bat while still in the bootloader. It is booting now! I was able to follow your guide and it is now rooted.
Regarding the marshmallow zip you include. I have a couple questions.
- For the modified stock version that will keep the recovery do I just need to flash it from recovery?
- Do I need to unroot before flashing this modified stock marshmallow?
Thanks!

Happy to read you got it booting, by the time I got to answer you seemed to git it figured out.
Regarding the zip, yes flash from recovery and you don't need to unroot before, but you will need to root after flashing.
However I do suggest you make a backup before flashing jsut in case....

I'm assuming the file is just for folks who are on lollipop who want to upgrade? Didn't see any need to flash it since already on 6.0.1 and have it rooted...unless I'm missing something again.
I read this after I went to 6.0.1 from Asus's manual download and update process. I can't get ADB to connect in the OS (developer mode never displays, even though it tells me I'm a developer after doing kernel ver. button process). I tried to get adb devices -l in fastboot and recovery, and it wont discover it. I've tried multiple windows drivers (including the one that worked when I flashed the firmware the first time) to no avail. Any ideas?

If windows doesn't see the phone when in recovery there is something wrong, this can be:
1) Wrong driver
2) Damaged USB cable
3) Damaged USB port.
When you are in recovery you should see the phone with adbm if you are in fastboot you should see the phone with:
Code:
fastboot devices
If nothing works you have the nuclear option.
Manually download the original firmware from Asus website: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/26/BXbNqJplzZiLmk6G/32/
copy the zip to an Sd card.
1) Now Turn Off your phone and boot into recovery mode by pressing Power+Volume UP.
2) Now in recovery mode choose to apply update from sdcard.
3) Now select the zip file.
4) Now wait until the process complete and then Reboot the phone.
5) Done!

More or less true, but somehow I was on a 6.0.1 version which is now gone from the firmware list of Zenfone, meaning I have updated from 6.0.1 to 6.0.1
Again now I see there is a new firmware released yesterday if I have the time I will patch that system image as well so it can be upgraded with TWRP.

Yes and it works. I tried a few modules, but generally speaking I'm not a big xposed user myself. Nify doesn't work to well because of all the asus software on it and I wasn't able to get google assistant either. Android audo mod worked perfectly, so yeah generally speaking xposed work's

Thanks...that answers all my questions except for figuring out what's safe to disable. I put a post in q&a but no replies..the zoom appears to have a very small group on xda. I'll figure it out eventually.

Actually most if them can be. Here is a print screen of the ones I have disabled on my phone hover I have a zenpad z380c which I use as my car dashboard and on that one o have disabled almost of all of the apps, except zenhome, audio manager and the file manager.
Yes I was surprised to find out that there is almost no zoom community.

I'm actually enjoying mobile managers auto startup managing...it's done a good job of keeping 10000 things from running at startup that don't need to although "Startup Manager" would do a similar job for free. I'm liking the zenui launcher and calling screen so don't want to break anything related to that...the phone's been performing exceptionally well for days on end with no required reboots. Been very impressed. Previously been fighting with a T-mobile V10 and an Alcatel Idol 3...the v10 had spontaneous reboots...the idol had a stock rom with a bunch of lag in it....tiny to nothing development on both of those.
What about Zentalk, ZenChoice, PhotoCollage, MyAsus Service center, Clean Master, Audiowizard and Bug Reporter?

I use tasker for that, but yes I agree as a whole is not bad, this is my 4rd Asus product (Zenfone 4, Zenfone 2, Zoom and Zenpad) and overall I'm quite impressed with how they perform, just the support from Asus isn't really the top of the cream... they released MM when other were releasing N... so yeah a bit of sour taste, otherwise happy. And the camera, I think it's brilliant, not the best on the market, but the optical zoom is cool, as well as the camera app which allows you to do some nice manual shooting.

I listed a few apps in my previous post I wondered if you had looked at..it was a last minute addition so you may have missed it. I own tasker...I'm unaware of using it to stop tasks from running at bootup although I have used it to MAKE some apps run after "Boot Completed".

Generally tasker can be used for almost anything.... but I'm doing most of the thing with root+shell scripts, but yes nothing wrong with the app provided by Asus. I think everybody uses the setup/software he/she is most comfortable using... and there is no right or wrong.... that's until you are NOT and iCrap user, because that is the ultimate WRONG! )

Well from the lack of posts it appears you and I ARE the zenfone zoom community. Any idea where the system updates get stored after downloading? I thought in /cache based on regular zenfone posts but was unable to see it. I've got one available but it has to be modified for twrp compatibility as well as unrooting temporarily.
